You continue to surprise in the best ways. Another splendid issue, with a brilliant cover, full of fun and executed with expertise. A fitting tribute.
One point about the little bat with the fast metabolism, Needle, that perhaps should be mentioned. No one has made a study of how many bats are conservative, as opposed to orthodox. But Needle, being both an insectivore and, at a pinch, a frugivore (feasting on [horrors!] ‘a plum and two grapes’), is definitely ‘reform’, and so one could expect this little bat to participate in many other odd annual rituals. Maybe even singing carols high above our ken.
